@8YBNY7N3yrs3Y
@8YZTXJB3yrs3Y
Yes, but for the sake of extra training. Police officers have some of the worst deescalation abilities, and need to be taught how to properly handle situations like that. Especially when it comes to members of the population who are special needs.
@8ZHNTK23yrs3Y
No, but don't give police departments funding unless necessary
